About us:
The manufacture Acoustic Signature from Suessen, Germany
Acoustic Signature was founded in 1996 in Suessen (district of Goeppingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg). Just one year later managing director and chief developer Gunther Frohnhoefer presented the first Acoustic Signature high-mass turntable from his own manufacture, thus gaining worldwide recognition and a reputation as an innovative company. With the expansion of its product portfolio which now also included tonearms and analog accessories, Acoustic Signature established itself as a fixed value in the international high-end market – with distribution partners on all five continents.
The Acoustic Signature team now consists of 28 experienced employees. Supported by state-of-the-art CNC technology and CAD systems our highly qualified engineers, electrical technicians, precision turners, goldsmiths and other specialists contribute their skills to further expand Acoustic Signature’s reputation as an absolute technology leader.
